      Mrs S has just potted on the rest of the other seedlings and has started off some new ones. All of the last lot were from the original family of the overwintering ones above (those plants don't exist anymore as we got rid of them after their fifth year).

      This is another lot of seeds from them.

      and here are some other less common ones being started. There are only two seeds of each (same ones either side of the labels) and they're all two year old seeds. She has numbered them and written down the numbers against her list of names.

      We'll have to wait to see how they germinate.

        Interesting post Shiney :dbgrtmb:
        Well my Chillies are showing after 6 days in the airing cupboard at 30°c . I'll take them out tomorrow and put them on the electric propagator until they are established. Then into the light box until pricking out time in about 4 weeks .
